Official Release

Date - June 27, 2023















New Features
Scene States
  • Implemented a Scene States system for creating, modifying and switching lights, materials, and objects variations. Each tab, that can utilize the states system has a Scene sub-state rollout and a new Scene States tab is added in the right side panel.          
Render Elements
  • Implemented render elements(Lighting, Specular, Global Illumination, Reflection, Refraction, Self-Illumination, Atmosphere, Background, Diffuse Filter, Bumped Normals, Z-Depth, Velocity, Object Mask, Material Mask, Raw RGB) for compositing and masks. 
  • Option for saving render elements as separate .png and .jpeg images.
Fog
  • Implemented light scattering( volumetric)  fog.          
Textures
  • Support for multiple UV channels. 
  • Support for Vertex Color.
  • Support for all options of the Advanced mode of the Color Correction texture from 3ds Max.
  • Support for repeat/offset U/V for UVWGenMaya when not using shading graphs (e.g. for bump maps).
Animation
  • Support for .vrscene file with animated: vertices, vrmeshes, materials, textures and UV parameters, light parameters.
  • Support for animations outside the imported .vrscene range.
Denoiser
  • Implemented Intel Open Image Denoise denoiser (OIDN) for interactive and HQ rendering.
Performance
  • Implemented NVIDIA upscaling denoiser in interactive mode, requires driver 530 or newer. 
  • Implemented reservoir resampling algorithm for direct lighting (RTXDI).
  • Render resolution scale option in interactive mode.
Chaos Scatter
  • Implemented Chaos Scatter for populating objects in the scene.
Hardware
  • Support for HDR displays.
  • Support for AMD GPUs (experimental).
Subdivision
  • Support for statically subdivided geometry objects from .vrscene.
Lights
  • Support for mesh lights (improved with reservoir resampling enabled).
  • Creation of lights(Point, Spot, Directional, Rectangle, Disc, Sphere, IES) from inside Vantage. 
  • Support for instanced lights via Forest pack and Railclone.
Materials
  • Support for VRmat materials.
  • Support for V-Ray override material (MtlOverride).
UI/UX
  • Helper onscreen text for gizmo manipulators.
  • Rendering quality presets slider with 4 predefined  presets.
Cloning
  • Implemented object cloning functionality with Ctrl+D.
Camera
  • Support for camera render resolution from .vrscene file.
  • Support for orthographic camera. 
  • Camera grouping functionality.
Tools
  • Support for Vertex snapping when moving objects. 
  • Added functionality to quickly place the pivot on the object's bounding box boundaries.
Home Screen
  • Implemented a Home Screen dialog with quick links, recent file and sample scenes.
Rendering
  • Implemented interval and specific frames or frames list for sequence rendering.
Geometry
  • Support for embedded vrscene nodes (VRayScene).



Modified
UX/UI
  • Revamped user interface and user experience with reorganized and regrouped parameters. 


Fixes
Live Link
  • Double frame sequence rendering during Live Link with 'Render animation with Chaos Vantage'.
Geometry
  • Wrong placement of meshes at the origin when instanced by an Instancer in an animated .vrscene file.
  • Artifacts near the scene origin caused by self intersection.
